Not rippin' on anyone in particular, but if your serious about your build, you'll remove the syncro and have the rotational mass balanced.

That's not bad!!!! They ususally blow the enire back of the block off!
Your right, at the very least you need to have the billet dog bone from ARC.

Unless they've come out with a new one, the ARC Brass Counterweight won't work on the synchro balanced crank, the crank has to be machined to use them.

Rocky,
Some do and some don't. Some cranks have removable lobes on the crank. Just pull them off and press on the brass weights.

that block can be fixed easy
as long as the crank bearings and crank bearing housings are still good.
